Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but your addition of external links to articles seem to be for advertising or promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Urban agriculture, and multiple other articles, you will be blocked from editing. DGG (talk) 23:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well potentially being penalized by search engines. Once again, please read WP:EL and WP:NOT for information about acceptable links. Mindmatrix 13:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

- The logic behind the spam guidelines is the same even if it's for a non-profit organization. The big thing here is that they saw you putting the link back in without trying to explain yourself first. If you can refrain from adding the links back into articles, and instead propose the addition using the articles' talk pages, then you'd probably be unblocked. -- Ned Scott 07:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
Guys I'm contesting the block as I haven't published promotional material as you assert. We are a group of people passionate about green roofs, vertical gardens, urban agriculture and so on and we run an informative and educative blog. There is no advertisiment, only informations regarding where the industry is heading. We are not either selling nor making advertisement, we only publish informations and updates of the above industries. We are a non-profit group and our blog doesn' make any money for us. The only purpose for it is educational and informative. It is a pitty you are blocking us with no REAL fundament. I hope you can understand we are genuine.
Decline reason:
I agree with Ned Scott's comments - in order to be unblocked, at the very least, you would have to commit to stop adding your blog to articles without discussion. — PhilKnight (talk) 12:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
Dear Scott and Phil thanks for your messages. I apologize but this way of editing and doing things here is very complicate for me, also because english is my second language. So, what do you reckon I should do? I didn't get what I should do. Our group is non-profit and we are not selling advertisement, only making education and information via our website. We are also associated to the Australian Green Roof Association. Kind Regards, Antonino
Decline reason:
The above response already says what you can do; make a promise not to add links to your blog to Wikipedia- if your blog really is the best source of information, you can suggest on a talk page that someone else add it. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
Guys I didn't understand why I cannot add my Blog to Wikipedia when there are so many websites liking in Wikipedia and have the same kind of structure my website has. There are also commercial websites linked in wikipedia under the Green Roof cathegory like this one: www.grassroofcompany.co.uk . Whay are they in and my website that is not of commercial nature is banned? Can you explain me what is wrong with my webiste? Can you also explain me what do you mean with "suggest on a talk page that someone else add it"? Sorry I don't understand what I should do. Thanks!
Decline reason:
Nobody is allowed to insert their own blogs, websites, or anything of their own into Wikipedia. There are a number of reasons for this, but suffice it to say it's part of our culture. Instead of putting your link on, for example, Roof garden, you need to instead put a comment on Talk:Roof garden asking unbiased third parties to consider whether a link to your blog should be inserted. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
